Hubble
Famous orbital observatory
Hubble refers to the Hubble Space Telescope, a large optical telescope launched into orbit in 1990, named after astronomer Edwin Hubble.
It has captured iconic images of distant galaxies, nebulae, and other celestial objects: The Hubble showed us galaxies forming billions of years ago.
Hubble also appears in Hubble constant, a measure of the universe's expansion rate.
